Accused on stand in gay love triangle murder trial

A Supreme Court murder trial involving a gay love triangle has heard evidence from a man accused of killing his boyfriend's partner in a jealous rage.

Texan Kenny Horack, 48, was found dead in his Subiaco apartment last August.

He had been stabbed 14 times.

Mohammed Almansouri, 39, from Qatar is accused of his murder and has pleaded not guilty.

The court has heard the men were both in a homosexual relationship with the same man.

Today Mr Almansouri took the stand and said, through an interpreter, that he was involved in a physical altercation with Mr Horack that started when the Texan pushed him to the ground and attacked him.

He told the court said a knife and a pick axe were used during the fight and he though Mr Horack was going to kill him.

Mr Almansouri said at one point he was stabbed in the back as he tried to get away.
